Hey, I'm Katie

Mum, business owner, sewing machine engineer and creative. I have a huge passion for sewing and when I'm not in my workshop repairing machines, you'll find me in my sewing room!

I love helping others bring their projects to life, whether it's with practical tips, behind-the-scenes insights, or personal stories.

Welcome to my blog-a place where stitches, stories and inspiration come together.
